Beauty From Ashes CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN
NATASHA'S POVI couldn't believe them, I thought in amusement as I cleaned up. I couldn't be pissed with their antics this time though. I thought I would be a little uneasy about it today, but I wasn't.I guess it was because today had just been…great…ugh, I'm going to sound like a broken record but honestly how could I help it?Peter Melton cooked for me and I got to see an elite’s house. I couldn't wait to share everything that happened today during dinner and also tell Layla all about it if I finally managed to get a hold of her.Speaking of Layla, shouldn't she have called me back? She couldn't still be in the bathroom. There was no way.Or didn't Trent tell her I called? Even if he didn't, she should have checked her phone and realized I called, right?I just didn't understand anymore. I felt like Layla and I were drifting apart ever since we got into Delengade and she started hanging around with Trent and other elites.I couldn't remember the last time we had a proper conversati
Beauty From Ashes CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX
NATASHA'S POVI told myself I couldn't have a crush on Peter. He was literally the only genuine friend I had right now.Not to shit on Layla or anything but well…you get it. I shouldn't ruin such a good friendship with stupid feelings.“You know you don't have to do that. You don't really need to go to school, you know. You literally own the school.” I said, chuckling nervously.He smiled tightly and shrugged, his eyes glittered for a few seconds like he had something to say.I arched my brow, did I offend him? I wondered. “What? Did I say something wrong?” I asked.He sighed and then chuckled as he ran a hand through his hair. My eyes followed his movement and I swallowed nervously.Oh for God's sake, stop it, Nat. You.cannot.have.a.crush.on.him. So what if I did? There was no way he would like someone like me, with my weight and everything.“I just get uncomfortable when people talk about my status. They're mostly fake and insensitive comments too. That's not the case for you of cou
Beauty From Ashes Chapter Seventy Five
NATASHA'S POVPeter finally pulled up in front of my house and I got down. I didn't want to part with him just yet.I had so much fun with him today. The tour at his family house, his own place, him cooking for me and our conversation today.It was the most fun I had in a long time. I didn't want the day to end just yet.We stood outside his car after we got down just talking about random things and I figured he didn't want to leave either.So, I came up with an excuse for the both of us.“Do you want to come in, Peter? We can watch movies and you can hsvd mango juice. I noticed you didn't have any at home.” I said.He grinned.“Yeah, why not? I'm just going to go back home to my big and empty house anyway. I might as well keep hanging out with you.” He said.I smiled and he locked his car door and we walked into the house together.He sat in the living room while I grabbed cookies from the fridge, a carton of milk for myself and mango juice for him.Then we both settled in the living
Beauty From Ashes Chapter Seventy Four
NATASHA'S POV I had no idea why Peter wouldn't like Layla but before I could ask, he got a call. It was about his grandma and from his conversation with the person on the other end, his grandma was only just getting better.“I thought you said you came back because your grandma was doing better?” I asked.We had just left the house in his car and where on our way home already.He shrugged.“Well, she was and she wasn't. She had a relapse a few hours ago.” He said.I kept staring at him, not sure if I should believe him. If he came back suddenly because of me and left his sick grandma all alone, that would make me feel really bad.He smiled when he saw my expression.“Trust me, Nat. That isn't what happened okay? I love my grandma like crazy. I would never chose any girl over her.” He said, grinning.He was teasing me, right? I shook my head and replied with a laugh.“You're unbelievable. Your grandma is one lucky woman, I guess.” I said.“I'm the lucky man here.” He mused.I laughed
Beauty From Ashes Chapter Seventy Three
NATASHA'S POV It was an excursion. Having Peter take me to his place and show me around had felt like an excursion.Especially since it took all of an hour for us to finish touring the entire house.We walked back to Peter's car and I was feeling grateful and happy about how happy I would feel if my day ended with this.“Thank you for bringing me here, Peter. My sister is going to go freak out when I tell her I came here.” I said, as I laughed.“She's like a gossip center. She knows everything there is to know about Delengade, the elites…it's funny. She would have psyched to be here.” I said.He smiled.“We can bring her next time.” He said. My eyes widened as I turned to him.“Next time?” I asked, my voice coming out in a high pitched whisper, I was way too excited.“Yeah, we can come next time if you want. And you can have Piper come along and Bart, if he's up for it.” He said.I laughed in disbelief. “Whoa, Peter. That's…wonderful. I'm…speechless? Thanks a lot. Piper would freak
Beauty From Ashes Chapter Seventy Two
NATASHA'S POV The drive to his place was a long one. After all, he had to come pick me up from my place and the middle class district and the upper class district were built a little differently.Whatever that meant…It took almost an hour before Peter was pulling into the biggest ass mansion I had seen in my life.Well, I haven't seen any in real life of course. Just pictures, and online but his house was way more impressive than any I had ever seen in pictures.It was a perfect combination of monarchy and democracy. Em, that didn't make any sense. I don't even know why I said that.Anyway…his house looked like a modern day version of a castle. Enormous, brooding, intimidating, somewhat dark but with enough brightness in all the right places.Enough for the house to come off as ethereal instead of creepy.I was speechless.I turned to look at Peter beside me, my heart beating at a faster pace. I guess I was that excited.“You live here? Do you really live here? By yourself? All alon

NATASHA'S POVPatty was sitting in the living room in between Piper and Bart when I went in.We finished classes later than the past two days today so I wasn't surprised they were both back already.What surprised me was my siblings giggling as Patty whispered something to them.How had they gotten

NATASHA'S POVLayla blinked and stopped in her tracks.“Huh?” That was all she managed to say. I scoffed. That's it. She had truly gone insane or she was just playing dumb.I crossed my arms over my chest, my face set in a hard line.“I asked you to call me immediately after you got home from Trent
Beauty From Ashes Chapter Forty Four
NATASHA'S POV I didn't hear from Layla at all by the time dinner rolled around.I wondered if she had gotten home and decided not to tell me anyway. Or maybe she forgot.But didn't she realize that I was worried? Wouldn't that be the only reason I would ask her to text me when she got back from Tr
Beauty From Ashes Chapter Forty Three
NATASHA'S POVI felt like someone had stuck their hand into my chest and ripped out my heart.‘Someone like me?’ How could she say that? She was my best friend! Even Patty shunned me when I said the same thing and we had only known each other for two days.“What do you mean someone like me?” I aske
